Life at Chawri

Chawri Bazaar- One of the oldest markets of brass, copper, and paper products. It was also the first wholesale market in Delhi. The place has held on to its essence of a traditional marketplace for years and serves as a working platform for Blacksmiths, carpenters, and other craftsmen. Most of the jobs in Chawri are labor intensive, providing work to hundreds of manual laborers every day.

​

The chaos and the spontaneity of the place attracted me and therefore I started documenting the marketplace. The people and their interactions with the surroundings were fascinating and ever-changing. The project presents the exploration and Serendipity of life in Chawri Bazaar and its proximities.
